Installing MonacoEZmatch™ for OKI
®
Color Matching Software
MonacoEZmatch is a quick and easy way to control
color. This software builds ICC monitor, scanner and
printer profiles that deliver accurate and consistent color
across devices and for specific media types. Using
profiles correctly will result in a more accurate match to
your printing device.
Overview
You can use MonacoEZmatch with your OKI color
printer in these ways:
Soft-proofing—working in RGB color space
a. Fine-tune the output of your OKI printer by
creating a printer ICC device profile. The printer
profile created for this workflow should be an
RGB profile.
b. Adjust the output of your OKI printer by editing
already created printer ICC device profiles.
Device Matching
a. Use one of the pre-installed color simulations
selectable from the printer driver:
(1) SWOP
(2) Commercial Press
(3) TOYO
(4) SNAP
(5) DIC
(6) Euroscale
Note:
These pre-installed color simulations work
for CMYK colors only.
b. Use your OKI printer as a pre-proofing device on
specialty media, or to simulate another device or
ink standard. To do this:
1. Create a printer ICC device profile for your
OKI printer using the media you intend to use.
2. Link the created OKI printer profile to one of
the pre-installed printing device profiles.
3. Download the linked profile into the hard disk
of your OKI printer.
4. Select the downloaded linked profile from the
printer driver.
Note:
These downloaded profiles work for
CMYK colors only.
Before installing MonacoEZmatch, check that you have
the minimum system requirements.
System Requirements
*
Some Windows video cards do not allow system
level support of color Management.
**
Adobe Photoshop is not required to create profiles.
Most scanners are shipped with software, called
plug-ins, for scanning through Photoshop.
MonacoEZmatch can scan using your scanner’s
plug-in (if it is compatible) even if you don’t use
Photoshop.
!
To better track the availability of profiles that have
been downloaded to the printer, it is recommended
that one person do the downloading and be
responsible for notifying other users of memory
location and settings.
!
A scanner is required to create an OKI printer
profile
!
Over time as new media are OKI certified, their
profiles will become available on our website.
Please check periodically for updates.
